Waking the Dead 2.0 || August 27, 2063 || Saturday

[He told you to rest because you all definitely need it, and he plans on staying around in the Tower to make sure that happens.

Granted, he's also around to check up on you if you really can't sleep, and his sister's doing the same thing. So.]



OOC Notes:
+ Hikaru will be in to watch over you all and talk up until 8 PM; he goes on duty early, then comes right back to the Tower to see Josh because boyfriend time is a Thing. Setsuna will be around the entire day.
+ Feel free, as always, to start your own threads here.

...You too, huh, Kuya?

[ It's a quiet assent to the discord in him, he'd never seen Aidan like that, nor had he ever felt fear like that - not even the Wings had caused that level of dread. Of course, that was overridden much later on by anger, still visible in the set of Kaz's jaw. ]

So. What is that, and why shouldn't I touch it?

[bladeweaver]

Hay, yeah. Me too. That is imperfect thaumium, and instead of storing your energy it will suck it all up instead. So... yeah, I'm happy I didn't hit you?

[He probably shouldn't have explained it all the way through. You're welcome to want to shoot him again, bro.]

[ktotheatothez]

[ Eyetwitch. He didn't have that much Anima right now, Taning. If that had hit him he'd have to go into Dark Hour and he's kind of not authorized, not without Jessie for now. ]

Hm. Okay. So why the Thaumium?

[bladeweaver]

Because I haven't been using my other magic so much, recently. I'm not just a Forces mage now. I have other things at my disposal. And I need practice.

[A tiny, bitter smile.]

We'll need to bring everything we can to every fight. I must have forgotten that.

[ktotheatothez]

...Bring everything we can to a fight, huh?

[ A dark look appears on Kaz's face, one that's never made an appearance before. ]

[bladeweaver]

[He's proud of that look, kiddo. It talks of innocence lost and fun times over, sure. But it also bespeaks responsibility and an understanding of the gravity of the business you're all in.]

Everything we can, and some things we can't. Whatever it takes.

[He smiles at you then, the smile a brother would wear the first time he finds out his young bro punched somebody in the face.]

[ktotheatothez]

Whatever it takes...

[ Well, he's still angry. Messing with Aidan Clayce is unforgivable in this one's book. Messing with Falner is not okay. And if you will notice, big brother, the kid is all flared up with the kind of fury that hasn't ever been seen on him. If he's glowing a little white around the edges, it's because he's praying for understanding and calm.

It takes him a few minutes to rein the anger in, and even then, he isn't ready to forgive the assault on their home, on their Kaiser, and on The Dragon. ]
